Rose's from Provence, the Loire, and Abruzzo (where they are called Cerasuolos), are all favorites. However, this year our summer rose' will be an All American; it is Terre Rouge Vine Gris d'Amador. A box should arrive by the 4th.

I picked up Snoqualmie Cirque de Rose. Full bodied rose if that makes any sense. Full of fruit, darker than most. About as far from a european rose as you can get, but very tasty. This will be my fourth of July wine with some BB ribs.
